Rei do Orgulho (Reis do Pecado, #2)

The story mixes intense, dark themes with moments of vulnerability. I'm curious how the author approached maintaining that balance without it feeling overwhelming.

The push and pull between characters felt so charged — was that intentional to keep readers on edge or did it develop naturally during writing?

The opulence contrasted with the dark themes really stood out. I'm wondering if the author drew from personal experiences or specific sources for this atmosphere.
